Hello knitters!
Time for another knitting project: Hooded Scarf Free Knitting Pattern
r
This project started as a shawl. I started working on it, but my daughter (always mesmerized with my knitting projects) decided to give it a try and ended up unraveling it all. And by giving it a “try” I mean that she grabbed my project while I wasn’t looking and started to play with it. (She is only 2 years old)
So I changed the design drastically, from shawl to scarf, because I wanted something that was faster to knit. Since is made from fingering weight yarn, it tends to take a little longer to finish.
Although it started as a shawl, I am very happy with this hooded scarf. I hope you like it too.
